WHAT IS IN THE BAG
4 dry qts, 36 qty pellets
contents: spaghum peat, poly-acylamide polymer, fertilizer, and lime.
I suggest that you simply ignore this product.
When you hydrate the clever pellets, you end up with simple peat moss.
For the same money, you can buy a nice, more convenient bag of peat moss at the the garden store.
Perhaps you will feel clever with a small bag of pellets rather than a ginormous bag of peat. But, once you get it home, the advantage dissappears.
PROBLEMS
**the instructions claim 5 minutes for hydration; ha, ha -more like 5 hours or, better, overnight.
**the number of pellets listed for a particular size pot is not adequate: you will need to use 1 or 2 more pellets per pot. It specifies 1 tab for a 2" pot, and 3 tabs for a 4" pot; both amounts are insufficient, I had to add one more pellet to properly fill the specified pot size.
yes, it is dandy for sprouting seeds, but it is no more effective than simply buying a bag of peat moss.
edit
I have already found a major problem: like peat moss, it dries out real fast. I am soaking the saucer under the pot every other day, or it starts to dry out. Not good. I suggest you look elsewhere for starting seeds.
